Instructions

Mix 2 cups flour and brown sugar in a medium size bowl. Cut in butter with 2 knives or pastry blender until mixture resembles course oatmeal. Reserve 3/4 cup of the mixture for topping. Add 1 cup flour, baking powder, nutmeg, soda and salt to remaining mixture in the bowl. Add buttermilk and eggs, stirring until moistened. Spoon batter into well-greased muffin cups, filling each about half full. Sprinkle each muffin with 1 1/2 teaspoons of the topping. Bake at 350F for about 20 minutes or until a wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean.
